The rain had begun -- at first it was pleasant, beating lightly against the firm ground, as it lulled Epiphron to sleep. She not not sleeping in her den tonight. The rain had begun as she had been trailing the borders, and she had decided on a nap. The nap had been a bit longer than expected, and before long hours had passed.

She awoke suddenly to the loud crack of lightning overhead. The sound echoed through the land, shaking the earth itself, and she found herself confused upon opening her eyes. It was rare she awoke on her on -- without her husband at her side -- and she felt utterly bewildered. It was not night, and yet the sky was dark and eerie. Her attention was quickly drawn to her husband's call nearby, and she would scramble about from the makeshift den to head towards him. All around her, the wind had begun to howl, ripping across the lands as though it might destroy everything it touched. The rain was strong now, relentless as it beat down on the earth and everything that lingered on it. This was dangerous, something unlike any storm she had ever seen.

His call sounded from near the barn, and her speed would increase dramatically as she began to question where her children were. The oldest would know to hide; but the youngest ones? And what of Arian, who had gone north to visit Syrinx and his family? The woman's heart would lurch in her chest as she saw a flash of fur in the distance. The roar of thunder overhead gave her no opportunity to call out, but she would direct herself toward the barn, a sure place of safety.

Or so she thought. What she saw made her heart nearly stop. A heap of wood and metal, her husband attempting to remove something from the rumble. "Maverick!" she would shout, gaze dancing about, finding another familiar male. Iowerth. But where were the others..?
